High-tech coupe with outrageous performance and handling; Zero to 100km/h comes in under three seconds

Talk about levelling the playing field: while Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche all charge big dollars for their high-speed sheetmetal, the monstrous GT-R is capable of beating most of them up on the track, for far less money. A twin-turbocharged V6 provides the power, a clever all-wheel-drive system with a rear mounted gearbox and twin driveshafts gets it to the ground. Onboard computing power constantly monitors steering angle, traction, yaw, g-forces, and pretty much anything you can name, harnessing and processing all the information in order to dial in even more speed.
